Angelina Jolie to Receive Honorary Oscar

Angelina Jolie is
as famous for her charity work as she is for her roles on the silver
screen. Now she’s being further recognized for her philanthropy with an
honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards this coming November in Los
Angeles.
Angelina has been involved with numerous
causes and field missions, raising awareness on issues including women’s
rights, sexual violence prevention, foreign relations, rural poverty,
natural resources and wildlife conservation.
“The
Governors Awards pay tribute to individuals who’ve made indelible
contributions in their respective fields,” Academy President Cheryl
Boone Isaacs said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited for this
year’s honorees and look forward to bringing their peers and colleagues
together to celebrate their extraordinary achievements.”
Jolie has also previously served as the Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).
